6 Outrageous Recipes Featuring Peanut Butter (plus, Fun PB Facts!)

Americans spend over $850 million a year on
peanut butter and with new brands and varieties of this spreadable wonder
coming out all the time revisiting it in our taste test column (the last one
was over 4 years ago) was a no-brainer.

We decided to split the test up into a few
different categories: smooth/creamy varieties with added sweeteners, crunchy/chunky
varieties with added sweeteners, and smooth/creamy varieties with no added
sweeteners. Skippy Creamy and Jif Extra Crunchy won the sweetened categories.
They both nailed the balance of salty, sweet nuttiness. The unsweetened winner
was Smucker's. Despite containing nothing but peanuts and salt, it had a hint
of sweetness, which many of the tasters picked up on (and loved).
